In her youth, Idira was considered one of the loveliest daughters of House Hazaad. That she also had an intellect to match her appearance surprised only those who didn't know her very well. When it was found she had a talent for manipulating the Seal, it further enhanced her prospects for marriage. Sadly, her father ended up choosing poorly, for her husband ended up being a brutish lout named Kashem who saw her only as a way of enhancing his own fortunes by marrying into one of the Houses of Dahab, not a partner in his business dealings. However, Idira became determined to find a way to turn this misfortune to her advantage.
The unhappy relationship came to an end shortly after the birth of their only child, a son named Nasheem. It was at that time that the three mistresses that Kashem had been keeping on the side were brought to the attention of his father-in-law by certain trustworthy sources. It didn't take long for the fool to disappear into the shadowy alleys of the Jewel, leaving his wife in sole control of his businesses until their son came of age.
In the decade since them, Idira has used all of her talents in finance and magic to more than double the money her idiot husband had abandoned. She also built strong ties with the woman that she knew really ran House Hazaad. But she also became a doting and protective mother, making sure her son wanted for nothing in his education and leisure.
Now as the Houses begin their latest shadow war, Idira has come to the fore in the Hazaad Alliance, with her son's enagement to the daughter of a prominent merchant of House Enour being a part of the deal that brought the alliance together. She knows that if her son is to prosper, then the Hazaad Alliance must come out on top in the growing chaos of the Dahabi Civil War.
Idira survived the fallout of the civil war only by the mercy of the victorious Menjari. They see her as a means to control her son remains one of the scions of House Hazaad. However, she has begun to move quietly against them, reaching out to contact the allies of her late patron, Ruqayah al-Hazaad....the Kolat Masters of Rokugan. One of their number, the new Master Roc has arrived in the Jewel to find out what happened to her predecessor...
